Explanation

BACKGROUND:  DETAILED BACKGROUND:  The Department of Public Utilities recommends reimbursement to the Sawmill Athletic Club for over-payment of sewer commodity charges.  The account was changed from a 2" to 3" water meter in December of 2007.  The 2" water service was deactivated, however the 2" sewer service was not.  The error was discovered during a meter test on March 23, 2009.  The customer was double billed 15,845 CCF of sewer consumption.  The account was corrected resulting in a credit balance of $47,986.36.  This account has gone through another billing cycle since the adjustment.  The total refund the customer is entitled to as of May 29, 2009 is $35,585.11.

Contract Compliance is not required as this refund is necessary to our customer to whom we have agreed to provide water and sewer services.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no budgetary impact because we are returning a portion of funds the customer paid. Revenues are not significantly impacted by this legislation.
